Abstract: This study focuses on the problem of reconstruction and immersive visualization of cultural heritage objects such as medieval strongholds. Geomatics-specific methods were applied, based on the use of reference data such as maps, topographic databases, LIDAR, aerial photography, and three-dimensional modeling. Search and transformation of reconstructed historical data were also carried out according to various historical–geographical–archaeological theories. The result of the work was the creation of a desktop application that presents the interactive landscape reconstruction as an immersive geovisualization of a typical medieval Eastern European earth-and-timber stronghold in two time periods and in its current state. Conclusions include the changes in land topographical levels, demonstrating how the topographical level has changed over time, and data identification to categorize and process it in order to visualize cultural heritage objects such as medieval strongholds in today’s landscape.
